"Private Academy?"

This thinking jump is really boundless, Wanli felt that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Cheng again and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

You can't beat two things together!

Then something must have happened.

Zhang Chengke was also confused, he didn't know anything about it, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, I didn't talk about it much, that is, Song Shilang showed those conditions to Guo Dan." ”

"Really?" Wanli looked at Guo Dan suspiciously, and asked, "Guo Dan, aren't you talking about contracting Kaifeng Mansion, why are you talking about this private academy again?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Back to Your Majesty, the motive of our businessmen to do business is out of consideration for the demand in the market, for example, Jiangnan has a rainy season and the north has little rain, if you want to buy and sell umbrellas, you will naturally choose Jiangnan, because the people in Jiangnan have greater needs." So in this way, what is the most profitable business in this world. ”

He gestured to his fingers and said, "Grain, salt, fabrics, because that's what everybody needs." But in addition to the most basic needs of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, people's biggest need is education, whether rich or poor, they all hope that their sons can get ahead and glorify their ancestors, but if you want to do this, then you must receive education.

Especially for those rich people, they also know many rich people, many of them are usually very economical, and the requirements for food and clothing are very low, which is the case with the Kou family, but in the matter of educating the next generation, they can do whatever it takes, and thousands of dollars are not a problem, it can be seen that this education contains huge profits, and the lowly even dares to guarantee that this education is more profitable than Marseille. ”

"You... What did you say? ”

Wanli almost didn't bite his tongue, "This education is more profitable than Marseille, why did I never know, I have also seen this private college, I can't make a few dollars at all, it's good not to lose money." ”

The state-run colleges, they are all using money to buy talents, how can you make money from it.

Guo smiled lightly: "That's because the people who run private colleges are some scholars and gentry, not us businessmen, if it is done by businessmen, and at the same time can monopolize the entire private education, it must be very profitable, and no industry can compare." ”

I thought, Lao Tzu can earn a school district house without even knowing TM, wahaha!

"Monopoly education?" Wanli couldn't help frowning, he was very sensitive to this kind of thing.

Guo Dan nodded and said: "According to the humble understanding, ten years ago, the imperial court had rectified private schools several times, although this has been somewhat relaxed now, but the imperial court has not lifted those restrictions. If Your Majesty can issue an edict stipulating that private colleges in the future can only be built in Kaifeng, Huaiqing, and Zhangde Prefectures, and then contracted by lowly positions, then it is equivalent to Your Majesty's complete control of education, and at the same time, it will also make those scholars have nothing to say. ”

He said it is still relatively vague, because it involves Zhang Juzheng, you must know that Wanli is on the throne, the first thing is to oppose Zhang Juzheng, why the official fights with the cabinet, it is also because of Zhang Juzheng, when it comes to the topic of Zhang Juzheng, you must be cautious.

At the beginning, in order to unify his thoughts, Zhang Juzheng rectified the private colleges several times, and put forward a lot of strict restrictions, basically only allowing the government to run them, and not allowing the private ones, because at that time, a lot of public opinion was from private colleges, and the scholars were concentrated in the private colleges.

Scholars have to be arrogant, they can't be licking dogs, licking dogs have nothing, they focus on criticism, so they can also attract attention, but also win fame, kill two birds with one stone.

Zhang Juzheng, as the first person in the dynasty, was often criticized by them, which seriously affected his prestige, and he simply sealed these academies, which also made Zhang Juzheng have been criticized by later generations.

It is also an important reason why many civil officials oppose Zhang Juzheng today.

Although after Zhang Juzheng's death, many policies have been abolished, but this has not been abolished, because Wanli gradually found that now people do not criticize Zhang Juzheng, but criticize him instead, he did not open this mouth, but because he was lazy, thick-skinned enough, and not afraid of being scolded, he didn't care much, and many literati in Jiangnan changed the college into various clubs.

Guo Dan's meaning is very simple, it is not allowed to be done in other places, only Kaifeng, Zhangde, and Huaiqing are allowed to be built.

This reminded Wanli, because he was also very worried about this matter, Guo Dan contracted these three mansions, which means that he directly controls them, so when the education is concentrated here, it does not mean that he can control public opinion and mind to the greatest extent.

This is very important for the emperor.

However, there must be a premise here, that is, it cannot be led by officials, and it must be contracted by Guo Dan, because officials are born as scholars, and they are on the same side as those scholars, not on the other hand with the emperor, and Guo Dan is no different from eunuchs in the emperor's opinion, that is, there is just one more JJ.

Wanli values two treasury the most, one is in the hands of the eunuch, and the other is in the hands of Guo Dan.

Guo Dan did the work of a eunuch.

Zhang Cheng didn't understand this, and said worriedly: "Guo Dan, why do we think that you are digging your own grave, the scholars in the world don't like you, and you still concentrate them in these three mansions, I'm afraid that you won't even have the right to say a word." ”

In his opinion, Guo Dan is to find all his opponents with him, this is not looking for death.

Guo smiled lightly: "Let them scold, I am making money for Your Majesty, and I don't want to be famous, they love to scold or not, as long as they give money, but if they dare to talk about Your Majesty, I will be able to let them not even buy a pen in Kaifeng Mansion, this mouth grows on them, but the pen and ink are in the hands of businessmen!" ”

Wanli smiled slightly, this kid was really sensible, and asked with interest: "Just by building an academy, you can pay taxes and make money?" ”

Guo Dan said relaxedly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, it is only a matter of time before Kaifeng Mansion's revenue exceeds that of Weihui Mansion." ”

"Can you surpass Weihui Mansion?"

Not to mention Wanli, Zhang Cheng was stunned, and said incredulously: "As far as Jiang Yinglan and the conditions they proposed, can Kaifeng Mansion surpass Weihui Mansion?" ”

"It's more than enough." Guo Dan smiled confidently: "Fortunately, I have them, otherwise, I really wouldn't have thought of this." I want them to know that I'm better than them, even if it's better than farming. ”

Wanli smiled happily, more profitable than Weihui Mansion, so add up, he can't earn a million taels this year, he began to dislike his salary, it is better to be an emperor than to be a businessman, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "Guo Dan, I see that you are still living too easily, I let you work more than you can at the beginning, but you still refuse to do it, if Jiang Yinglan didn't force you so much, you are afraid that you will still hide where to enjoy yourself." "Love Literature Network

Are you talking about human words? When did I enjoy it. Guo Dan complained in his heart, and cried: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the lowly position is really wronged, there was really no way to the lowly position at that time, where did the lowly position come to it, Jiang gave them desperately to send money to the lowly position, the lowly job is so big, I have never seen such a strange request, this is really embarrassing for the lowly position." ”

Wanli laughed when he heard this, and said: "When they see that you have made so much money, they will not be angry to death, haha, okay, I promise you." ”

He is very sure of this, on the surface it was originally forbidden, but now he is open with restrictions, which is not a difficult thing for him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Guo Dan clenched his fists and saluted, and said: "But Your Majesty, this matter must not leak the news, otherwise, they may not agree to contract the lowly position." ”

Wanli said: "Don't worry, they will never know." Do you have any other requirements? ”

I'm in a good mood, as long as the money is in place, you can ask for it.

Guo Dan groaned for a while, and said: "There is no more request, but there is one more thing, and it has to be approved by His Majesty, and when the time comes, the lowly position will contract these three mansions, and it will inevitably be related to the vassal kings of these three places, and the lowly position must negotiate with those vassal kings." ”

Wanli suddenly frowned and asked, "This vassal king...... Ahem, what are your plans? ”

He himself knows that this is a problem, and now that Guo Dan has contracted it, he doesn't have to pay this money to support those vassal kings, and the treasury will definitely not allocate grain at that time, and he didn't let Guo Dan contract at that time, which is also because of this reason.

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I feel that these vassal kings are really miserable, and if anything happens, even food and clothing will be a problem." Your Majesty is as kind to the lowly as a mountain, how can the lowly position allow them to live such a difficult life, so please rest assured, the lowly duty will do its best to let them all live a prosperous life. ”

"Wait!"

Wanli hurriedly stopped him, this kid would be mistaken, I didn't think they were having a hard time, and glanced at Zhang Cheng again.

Zhang Cheng comprehended and immediately said: "Guo Dan, you may not know this very well, it's just that some county lords and county lords are relatively poor, but the eldest prince is still doing very well." ”

"Then let them live better." Guo Dan shrugged slightly.

"Huh?"

Zhang Cheng looked at Guo Dan in astonishment.

Wanli coughed lightly: "But this requires money, and when you contract it, the household department will definitely not be willing to allocate grain." ”

Guo Dan immediately assured: "Your Majesty, rest assured, you don't need to pay for it, and you won't let Your Majesty pay for it." ”

"Are you going to dig it?"

"In fact, it is a matter of course to pay for lowly duties." Guo said lightly.

Wanli saw that he was confident, and knew that there must be something greasy in this, anyway, he didn't want him to pay for it, so he put his mind at ease and said, "Okay, I will allow you to negotiate with them." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Out of the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Cheng immediately pulled Guo Dan to the side and said, "Guo Dan, what are you going to do, how do you get to education?" ”

He still can't figure it out, is education something that Guo Tongsheng can do? This is hardcore, and if you don't have a little ink in your stomach, you won't be able to put it here.

Guo Dan sighed and said: "Prime minister, I can't be blamed for this, they forced me to take this step, think about it, with their conditions, in addition to being able to run education, what else can I do." ”

Zhang Cheng thought about it, it was really like this, basically he couldn't do anything, but running education was not only in line with agriculture and business, but also in line with Shinong industry and commerce.

Guo smiled lightly: "Do you want to participate in a share, this is quite profitable." ”

Zhang Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "How much does this cost?" ”

Guo lightly sighed: "You are too much of an external minister, how can I ask you to pay for the internal minister, if the internal minister is leisurely and elegant, he will write what he has learned all his life into a book, and he can directly take it to the college as a textbook, and of course the college will have to pay the internal minister." ”

Zhang Cheng was shocked: "This is okay." ”

Guo Dan said: "How can the prime minister be arrogant, I have always thought that the talent of the prime minister is no less than those civil officials. ”

"That's... Not really. ”

Having said that, Zhang Cheng was already smiling so much that he couldn't close his mouth.

Don't talk about giving money, if you don't give money, he is willing to write, write books and speak, this is a literati's dream, since he lost his little brother, he thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, and he never thought that he would encounter such an opportunity.
